The OC ended on FOX a decade ago, and the series was revisited over the weekend at the ATX Television panel. Josh Schwartz was joined for a panel by others involved with the teen drama that aired for four seasons.

Tate Donovan was also on hand, and he joined other actors in a special reading of the pilot episode. Tate Donovan starred on the popular series as Jimmy Cooper. He was a regular feature of the cast for two seasons, and he continued to pop up through season four.

The ATX Festival Instagram shared a clip of Donovan walking on stage. Other actors filled in the pilot roles. Deadline reported that Patrick J. Adams from Suits, Nick Wechsler from Revenge, and Arielle Kebbel from 90210 were involved in the pilot reading.
